Bland discs with no labels is a great problem. You just cannot differentiate one disc from another. Sticking paper labels on the discs is not at all recommended because it would topple the balance of the disc. The best bet is DVD printing and this is the place where Microboards DVD Printer rules the roost. These printers are equally well suited to print single disc at home or small office and multiple discs needed by big businesses. Here is a look at the disc printer lineup from Microboards.
The most widely available and recommended model is GX Disc Publisher. This printer has a capacity of 50 pieces of media. It can be used with Microsoft Windows as well as the Mac OS X from Apple Inc. The device can handle the artwork created in Adobe Photoshop though it also comes with its own disc label design and printing solution. It is primarily a DVD combo drive that is integrated with an inkjet printer that can do direct to disc printing. The footprint of this device is very small.
With printing costs of just 20 cents per copy, GX is ideal for the home and small business purposes. It can deliver discs which look as if they are coming out of a disc stamping plant. The device is fully automated so you can queue up the job and concentrate on other things. GX can take care of the things from then onwards. It would deliver the discs in a nicely printed and stacked manner. USB connectivity means that this printer can be used with desktop and laptop computers.
When it comes to large businesses however, basic capacity burners are not fast enough. The need here is to be able to burn and print as many as 100 discs in one go. The key consideration is that the duplication system must be fast and the per copy price must be the lowest possible. This is where MX Print 2 from Microboards comes in. This is a 100 disc capacity burner. CDs can be burnt at the speed of 48X and DVDs at the speed of 18X.
At a price of just 9 cents per copy with full color, MX is easily one of the cheapest per copy printers. This is because the device uses advanced thermal inkjet technology from Hewlett Packard. It can deliver very sharp prints with resolution as high as 4800 dpi. The device is usable with both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows platforms. The device is connected to host computer using USB 2.0 connection.
The company is working to improve the quality of Microboard DVD printer products. New technologies like LightScribe and faster duplication systems are in the works.
